#SCOTUS Tuesday sided with a #Christian #therapist, rejecting a #Colorado #law that prohibited #MentalHealth professionals from trying to change the #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity of #LGBTQ minors.

The court’s decision has implications for >20 other states that have similar laws banning [barbaric] so-called #ConversionTherapy, which critics say is ineffective & potentially dangerous for young people.

nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/poli…

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’.

On orders from Trump.

They want you to "pray (the gay/trans) away".

Or go to jail.

Where does the money go if you buy Harry Potter books or support the franchise by watching the HBO series or visiting attractions at Universal Studios theme parks? Potter author J.K. Rowling has established a new fund, using her personal funds, that “offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.” Here's more from The Advocate.

Now some ICM members have launched a petition asking it not to meet in the US in 2026, for a list of reasons including US aggression in #Gaza, #Greenland, #Iran, and #Venezuela, and "serious concern that academics (or anyone) traveling to the US may be denied entry."

This is a #LowFantasy wilderness adventure with a bit of romance. It has #LGBTQ rep, #Disability rep, and #MentalHealth rep including: gay side characters, a non-binary tertiary character, main character anxiety rep, and disability also including a side-character who uses a wheelchair.

There's strong friendships & a strong sibling relationship, with tons of banter, but also a lot of classism and prejudice.

Today in Labor History March 14, 1954: Salt of the Earth premiered. The film depicted the 1951 strike of Mexican-American workers at the Empire Zinc mine, in New Mexico. The film was one of the first to portray a feminist political point of view, particularly through Actress Rosaura Revueltas’s role as Esperanza Quintero. When the Company uses the new Taft-Hartley Act (which also bans General Strikes) to impose an injunction preventing the men from picketing, their wives go walk the picket line in their places. LGBTQ and labor activist Will Geer (Pa Walton) also played in the film. Writer Michael Wilson, director Herbert Biberman and producer Paul Jarrico had all been blacklisted for their alleged communist ties. Only 13 of the 13,000 theaters in the U.S. showed the film.
